Reaction Steps

To a mixture of potassium thiocyanate (5.07 g, 51.7 mmol) in 30 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) is added 1-bromooctane (5.0 g, 4.5 ml, 25.8 mmol). The mixture is stirred at 45° for 1.5 hours. It is then cooled to 0° and water and ether are added. The ether layer is washed with water and brine and stripped to give octylthiocyanate.
